GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #572 (Syntax error in docs (redux ;)), #1404 (conftest.py loaded in wrong order.), #612 (Syntax error on assertion reinterpretation), #561 (SyntaxError in docs), and #520 (Silent crash when exec produces a syntax error involving Unicode).

it looks like you try to run python3 code with python2

the syntax on the last line is supported on python 3 and not on python2

as far as i can tell pytest cant help that at all, please set up your env correctly

@RonnyPfannschmidt thanks for an update in env I have to set python.exe path or something more??

[RonnyPfannschmidt]

i am not fluent with python version setup on windows,
its only clear that your setup uses a python2, and you need a setup with a python3

I agree this isn't any kind of pytest issue.

@akra7777 on Windows you can use the py launcher to execute pytest in any version you like:

py -3.7 -m pytest ....

But this is indeed not related to pytest itself, is basic Python environment setup. I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials on the web about that, you should also look in how to setup virtual environments or using conda.
